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

At this moment, the battle situation collapsed instantly. Seeing this, the Anbu ninja had no choice but to use their trump cards to get rid of the Root's entanglement and go to support the Third Hokage.

The price to pay is injury or death.

"Yosh, it seems it's time for Konoha's proud Azure Beast to make its appearance."

A discordant voice echoed from the battlefield, ignored by the roots.

Might Guy, a strong and robust Konoha genin, stepped forward!

Seeing this, Kakashi, who was hiding in the tree, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

To be honest, he almost fell off the tree when he heard those words.

Uncle Dai is just a genin. Why would he participate in a battlefield where even jonin would surely die? Isn't he just courting death?

Kakashi thought so, and so did the Anbu members around the Third Hokage and the clan ninjas who still had fighting power.

A secret squad leader shouted sternly:

"You, Matt Day, quickly take the two children and run, before they make a move on you!"

"Run! Don't cause trouble!!"

The squad leader in the secret service knew who these two children were.

One is Haneda, representing the Uchiha clan, the strongest clan in Konoha, and the other is Kakashi, the son of the man known as the White Fang of Konoha.

Even if only one of these two children is caught, it would be a huge problem for the Hokage.

This Matt Daly is causing trouble at this crucial moment!!!

The ANBU squad leader secretly prayed that this genin had some sense of the bigger picture.

But at that moment, Dai's aura suddenly became powerful and volatile.

Pale blue steam continuously rose from his body.

"Haneda, remember this move: it's for protecting what's most important to you!"

"Never use it against your own comrades!"

Dai turned around and said to Haneda.

Without further hesitation, he crossed his arms and forcefully opened them.

"The seventh gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of Shock, open!!!"

Dai's aura surged once more, and the ground beneath his feet was instantly torn apart by thick blue steam.

At the same time, a strong wind howled from Dai's side.

The leaves in the trees throughout the area rustled loudly in the fierce wind.

Accompanied by the tearing, howling wind, it moved.

A massive white tiger figure materialized in mid-air, opening its enormous maw toward several Root ninjas.

The terrifying aura and violent atmosphere startled everyone.

"Wait! We belong to Root, we are also Konoha ninjas, we are comrades!!!"

"Daytime Tiger!! Hah!!!"

In an instant, the sound vanished, and an eerie silence descended.

At that moment, seven corpses lay on the ground, torn apart by the air.

At their center, a man emitting blue steam stood proudly.

"What did they just say? Never mind, I didn't hear them..."

Dai glanced at the Root ninjas in front of him who were sweating profusely with fear, and then at Haneda and Kakashi following behind him.

"You go and protect the Hokage, Haneda, Kakashi."

"As for Uncle Dai, I'll go and meet these shady characters."

Haneda looked into Dai's eyes and hesitated for a moment.

All he wanted to do was stick close to Dai and cling to his leg.

He'd be willing to pay even for a small charm!

As for the third generation, that old man?

A Kage-level powerhouse needs protection from two kids, him and Kakashi?!

"Let's go, Haneda. Uncle Dai still needs to focus on dealing with the enemy," Kakashi reminded him softly.

"Okay." Haneda nodded helplessly, knowing that being by the Third Hokage's side would at least provide some security.

After all, the Third Hokage couldn't possibly let him and Kakashi be captured by Root or die here.

Kakashi once again sensed Dai's violent and terrifying aura, and couldn't help but say:

"Haneda, you have a really good eye for people."

"Uncle Dai is really strong, too strong."

The nearby ninjas nodded silently upon hearing this.

Especially those members of the Dark Division who had previously looked down on and questioned Dai nodded repeatedly.

Many people who were skeptical before have now completely changed their minds and found it surprisingly good.

On the other side, Dai's battlefield.

The Root Division Commander was astonished by Dai's strength and asked loudly:

"Who is that, so brave?"

"Meterdai, one, one genin..."

The informant who gave the answer questioned it even as he spoke.

That aura, that strength... is this some kind of genin?!

"Are you sure? And not the captain of the Dark Division?" the Root Division captain said coldly.

"I've confirmed it! He's been ridiculed by the villagers as a perennial low-ranking ninja, and he's always been carrying out D-rank missions..."

"A Rank D mission???"

The Root Division Commander was getting increasingly confused. Who was the idiot who collected this intelligence?

A low-ranking ninja who spends most of his time on D-rank missions?

Ok? ? ?

This isn't just a joke!!

If they weren't on the battlefield, the Root Division Commander would have loved to slap those intelligence ninjas a few times.

Genin, God Genin! ! !

Unfortunately, they didn't know that two more genin would later emerge who were even more valiant than Might Guy.

…………

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Haneda and Kakashi surrounded the Third Hokage with kunai, while the other ninjas went to stop the Root ninjas who were trying to attack the Third Hokage.

"Thank you for your help, Haneda, Kakashi," the Third Hokage said with his usual gentle smile.

"No trouble, no trouble."

Haneda spoke repeatedly, but what he was really thinking was what the Third Hokage was up to.

The situation is now so clear that if the Third Hokage were to make another move, the Root would be no threat.

"I don't have much chakra left, so I can't use many ninjutsu."

"I will explain this to you later. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."

The third generation leader sighed and said.

He looked into Haneda's eyes and recalled the moment when Haneda specifically asked him for Might Guy.

Did he already know, or was it just a coincidence, or did he genuinely want to help Might Guy, this incredibly powerful, perennial genin?

The Third Hokage could tell that Might Guy's strength was no less than that of a Kage.

At that moment, four uninvited guests barged in.

"That was a clone of the Third Hokage, and he didn't have much chakra left."

"A sensory chunin said."

"Damn it, we have to capture Haneda and Kakashi, or that person will be in big trouble!!"

Muramasa broke out in a sweat when he heard the words "clone".

He could hardly imagine what kind of crisis Lord Danzo would be facing at this moment.

As long as Haneda and Kakashi are captured, Lord Danzo will not be in too much trouble!

"We can't delay any longer, let's get started!!"
