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

Sakumo stood up, patted Haneda on the shoulder, and said:

"In a broad sense, a ninja is someone who can endure everything."

In a narrow sense, it refers to someone who possesses and controls chakra.

"I know you won't approve of the spirit of the ninja, Haneda."

"Then let me talk about chakra, which is the meaning of power."

"Legend has it that the Sage of Six Paths created the Ninjutsu sect and distributed chakra to others to connect people's hearts."

"Initially, chakra was used for farming, building bridges, and constructing roads. Later, due to human desires, it evolved into a weapon for killing."

As he spoke, Sakumo drew the short sword from his back and smiled slightly:

"What do you think of this knife?"

"Sharp enough to kill?"

As soon as Haneda finished answering, Sakumo took his beloved short knife, cut the grilled fish in half, and even gave a piece to Haneda.

"now what?"

"It tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"

Haneda tried the fish that Uncle Sakumo had grilled, and it was indeed quite delicious.

Moreover, the fish bones were removed from all the cuts.

"is acceptable."

Haneda licked his lips, and suddenly, he realized something and began to think deeply.

Chapter 063 The Hidden Mist Attacks

At this moment, Sakumo said again:

"Power is neither right nor wrong."

"The knife in my hand can kill the enemy in front of me, and also protect my comrades behind me."

After saying that, Sakumo pointed to Asuma and Kurenai practicing treading water on the lake and said:

"Just like how hard they train, falling into the water again and again, and getting up again and again."

"Were they motivated by murder?"

"Actually, they just don't want to be left too far behind by you, and they don't want to be unable to protect their loved ones during the mission."

"And that is the meaning of chakra, which is power."

Haneda recalled the purpose of his hard training and suddenly understood everything.

He wasn't just living for himself, but also for his friends, Obito, Kakashi, and the others.

And that is the meaning of power, and the meaning of the existence of ninjas.

…………

Three days later, at night.

A covered boat came to a stop on the coast of the Land of Waves.

Four people wearing cloaks stepped off the ship and onto the land of the Land of Waves.

"Captain, what is the objective of the mission?" one of them asked.

"A merchant named Sakata, and four ninjas from Konoha, including one Jonin and three Genin."

The leader raised his cloak slightly, inadvertently revealing the headband that represented Mist Village on his forehead.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, and recalling the Fourth Mizukage's instructions, he said again:

"Ignore the one named Sakata for now; what we need to deal with are the ninjas of Konoha."

"Especially a man named Uchiha Haneda, whose Sharingan is very precious."

When the topic of murder came up, the Kirigakure Jonin revealed a sinister smile.

As elites cultivated in the Blood Mist Village, they are far superior to the flowers in the Leaf Village's greenhouse.

One Jonin and three Chunin against a newly graduated squad leader—the advantage is on my side!

The Hidden Mist Jonin had absolutely no idea how he could possibly lose.

At that moment, another person wearing a cloak walked over, tossed a scroll to a Kirigakure Jonin, and then left.

The Kirigakure Jonin narrowed his eyes as he took the scroll.

Only after seeing the contents of the scroll did the doubts in my heart disappear.

So there was a traitor within their ranks.

…………

Early in the morning, on the outskirts of Toyohama North City, Haneda and his team were training.

More than a dozen of Haneda's shadow clones stood in different positions, practicing the form changes of Lightning Release chakra.

This scene drew a wave of envy from Asuma.

"Brother Haneda! How did you create so many shadow clones? I can only create three at most!"

"The A-rank ninjutsu, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, contains instructions on how to create more shadow clones," Haneda said.

"Brother Haneda, why can you create so many shadow clones for cultivation, while I can only create one or two and I already have a headache?"

“I’m gifted.”

"Brother Haneda..."

"Can you be quiet for a second?" Haneda said, his forehead creased with exasperation.

"Brother Haneda, I just want to work hard to become stronger," Asuma said with an embarrassed smile.

Just as Asuma was entangled with Haneda, Sakumo arrived.

“Someone has infiltrated this place, at least three people,” Sakumo said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Haneda immediately recalled his shadow clone and stopped training.

Memories flooded his brain, but were quickly absorbed by Haneda's extraordinary mental strength.

The chakra consumed was also rapidly restored with the blessing of the Elementary Sage Body.

A moment later, Haneda opened his eyes, and his three-tomoe Sharingan was activated.

At that moment, a thin layer of white mist drifted over quickly.

Then, four ninjas carrying swords appeared in Haneda's field of vision.

They were standing on the tree branches, looking down at Haneda and the others.

…………

Meanwhile, riots broke out in the four districts of Fengbin, from east to west and north to south.

Countless heroes rose up in rebellion, wielding their best weapons and charging towards Sakata's men.

Some people also took the opportunity to rob, smashing and looting in markets where rice, grain, oil, and salt were sold, leaving various goods scattered all over the ground.

The crowd was in complete chaos.

Suddenly, as if receiving some kind of signal, the entire city descended into chaos.

But the people behind the scenes of this city don't care at all.

In the Yamano family mansion, Sakata paced back and forth in the most heavily guarded main hall, waiting for news from the butler.

In Daming Prefecture, countless officials held banquets, enjoying fine wine and song and dance, awaiting news from Daming.

The upper-class nobles seemed to know tacitly that the real outcome did not depend on the city.

It was in the outskirts of the northern city, a battle between ninjas.

…………

"One Jonin and three Chunin."

Haneda roughly judged the strength of the four by the amount of chakra they possessed.

He said to Sakumo beside him:

"Uncle Sakumo, how about I deal with the Jonin, you hold off the two Chunin, and leave the last one to Asuma and the other two?"

“Okay.” Sakumo nodded. His original intention was to train Haneda and the others, and now the whetstone had arrived.

Upon hearing the reply, Haneda grinned.

He beckoned forward with his finger and smiled:

"What are you standing there for? Come over here and have a go at me."

Seeing this, the Hidden Mist Jonin bared his two rows of sharp fangs and sneered:

"What an arrogant brat! I wonder if you'll kneel down and beg me for your life later."
