Naruto: With Favorabiltity System

Chapter 186: Tsunade and Jiraiya Return to the Village, the Final Arrangements!

In the following days, Haneda devoted himself to studying sealing techniques, frequently consulting Minato about the Flying Thunder God technique.

With the Sharingan's copying ability and the Shadow Clone technique, Haneda's understanding of sealing techniques progressed rapidly.

However, limited by his natural talent, he hit a wall with the Flying Thunder God technique.

He could only use it by teaming up with Kakashi, and even then, it posed potential life-threatening risks.

By late June, just one month remained before the Nine-Tails incident.

During this time, Kushina was admitted to the hospital, and Minato was busy managing village affairs.

Meanwhile, Haneda stayed home, waiting for news of Tsunade's return.

After six months, he had mastered the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal.

He had even learned some of the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains.

Haneda felt confident that he could work with the sealing team to handle the Nine-Tails.

However, when it came to Obito...

He wasn't entirely confident he could convince him.

Haneda took off his jacket and glanced down at his right arm.

The white patch on his shoulder had faded significantly since last year.

Even the outline of Hashirama's face had blurred, leaving only a faint impression on his arm.

Haneda could feel that his strength had fully recovered.

In fact, he was now stronger than he had been at last year's peak.

A faint blue screen appeared before him:

**[Uchiha Haneda]**

**[Strength: Kage-level (81/100)]**

**[Chakra: 31.2, Attributes: Water, Earth, Wind, Fire, Lightning, Yin, Yang]**

**[Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyo Sharingan (Eternal Mangekyo 91%), Advanced Sage Body (Complete Sage Body 26%), Wood Release]**

**[Special Abilities: Eight Gates - Gate of Pain (94/100), Mastery of Hatake Swordsmanship (43/100), Flying Thunder God Technique (19/100), Lightning Release Chakra Mode (47/100)]**

"With this level of power, I can handle Obito."

"But I still need to prepare more."

While Haneda was deep in thought, a crow quietly appeared at his window, carrying a note tied to its leg. Haneda took the note, and the crow flew away.

"Tsunade has returned to the village. Did she agree?"

Haneda put his jacket back on, leapt out the window, and made his way to the designated tavern.

Inside, Tsunade was drinking sake, occasionally picking at snacks with her chopsticks.

"Lady Tsunade."

Haneda entered the tavern, greeted her, and took a seat across from her.

"Here's what you asked for, kid."

Tsunade placed a scroll in front of him.

"I told you before, the Yin Seal is only suitable for women."

"I brought it, but I can't guarantee you'll be able to learn it."

"Thank you." Haneda accepted the scroll containing the Yin Seal.

After six months of hard work, he was sure he couldn't master the Yin Seal within a month.

There was no helping it; sealing techniques were too complex.

Even with twenty shadow clones studying it, he'd only managed to learn the advanced version of the Four Symbols Seal, the Eight Trigrams Seal.

However, Haneda hadn't asked Tsunade to return just for the Yin Seal.

"Lady Tsunade, you know about Kushina's pregnancy, right?"

Tsunade took a sip of sake, placed the bottle on the table, and burped.

"I heard from Minato. Intelligence from spies placed in various villages suggests they're planning to target Kushina."

"That means they'll strike when her child is born."

"Don't worry. I'll be staying in the village during this time."

Tsunade glanced at Haneda and curiously asked, "Did you and Minato capture those old geezers in the village?"

"You mean the inherently evil old ghost, Danzo? He's still locked up in prison."

Haneda had barely thought about Danzo, except for using him to threaten Root operatives recently.

"The inherently evil old ghost…" Tsunade's mouth twitched, remembering her second grandfather's nickname for the Uchiha.

Still, Danzo being captured was good news for the village.

Tsunade smiled, "It was a good idea to capture him. That old man should have been dealt with a long time ago."

Just then, Jiraiya entered.

"So, here you are, and Haneda's here too."

Tsunade heard his familiar voice and looked up at him with a blank expression.

"Weren't you in the Land of Hot Water peeping? Why are you back?"

Jiraiya, who was planning to sit next to her, noticed Tsunade's unwelcoming gaze and sensibly sat beside Haneda instead.

"It's because the Hidden Cloud hasn't given up on targeting Kushina, so Minato called me back."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at Haneda.

Come to think of it, this information was brought by Haneda after he threatened several spies in Root to death for information.

The news about the Hidden Cloud's plan to target Kushina was intended to conceal Obito's involvement.

He smiled, "With Lady Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya here, the Hidden Cloud wouldn't dare make a move in the Leaf Village."

"Once this period is over, the Hidden Cloud won't dare covet the Nine-Tails again."

"True enough," Jiraiya said, picking up a sake bottle on the table and drinking with Tsunade.

Haneda, who wasn't fond of the taste of sake, excused himself as Tsunade and Jiraiya engaged in animated conversation.

As he watched Haneda leave, Jiraiya remarked, "Minato's already Hokage now. Looks like you lost our bet."

"I told you, you always lose when you gamble, and I always win."

Tsunade smirked, "Haneda was the one who proposed capturing Danzo and reforming the Police Force, fundamentally changing the village."

Jiraiya chuckled, "But Minato is still the Hokage."

At this, Tsunade retorted, "Don't forget, Haneda is much younger than Minato."

"Peace in the Shinobi World can't be achieved by just the Hokage alone."

...

With the Yin Seal scroll in hand, Haneda wasn't in a rush to study it.

There was only one month left until the Nine-Tails incident.

He had completed most of the preparations for dealing with it.

From improving his strength to securing outside help, everything was in place.

The Four Symbols Seal, Eight Trigrams Seal, Mangekyo Sharingan, Wood Release—he had more than enough to handle the Nine-Tails.

And with Tsunade and Jiraiya by his side, any one of the Sannin alone could handle the Nine-Tails, let alone two of them.

But Haneda still feared unexpected developments.

Obito wouldn't stay idle, and Kakuzu and Sasori might make an appearance.

Nagato and Konan might even come.

Haneda had to make his final arrangements.

He headed straight to the Uchiha clan's training grounds.

Arriving at a lake, he saw Fugaku teaching Yamato genjutsu while Itachi held Sasuke near the lake's edge.

"Fugaku, how's the training coming along?"

Haneda glanced at Itachi before smiling at Fugaku.

"Not as talented as Itachi, but decent," Fugaku replied.

"Haneda-nii!"

Yamato ran over to Haneda, hugging his leg.

"I've gotten really good at Wood Release! Look—"

"No need, you've worked hard enough." Haneda patted Yamato's head, reassuring him.

Unlike others, he had modest expectations for Yamato and always praised him for his effort.

Seeing Yamato smile again, Haneda turned to Fugaku.

He had serious matters to discuss.
